When waging an effective war, you need to know your enemies and recognize your friends. You have to be able to tell the difference between the good guys and the bad guys. And perhaps most important, you need to know on which side of the fence you’re going to be. Thanks to Arizona’s new illegal immigration law, we’ve gotten a meaningful look at some of the adversaries in this New American Civil War. And we know on which side of the fence many have chosen to stand.

When Arizona Governor Jan Brewer decided to give her state law enforcement officers the power to enforce federal immigration laws, liberals began concocting hysterical scenarios, as if the concept of enforcing the law could only lurk within the dark chambers of a totalitarian police state. As usual, when the Left’s statist agenda is exposed, they go on an unhinged offensive against any and all who dare to challenge them.

In a collective fit of outrage, liberals everywhere have been calling for boycotts of all things Arizonan. They’ve reduced a serious issue to a pseudo-racial political PR campaign. Playing the familiar race card, mayors, governors, and media pundits across the country have gone on the warpath in an attempt to intimidate Arizona into backing off. In their eyes, Arizona is now a racist rogue state—an enemy to be subdued into submission.

Another one of their tactics is also a familiar one. When liberals lack a sound argument, they just paint the opposition with over-the-top Nazi imagery. Phoenix Suns General Manager Steve Kerr’s comment was fairly typical of the sort of dysfunctional rhetoric coming from the Left. You might have thought he was talking about Vichy France 1940 rather than Arizona 2010 when he said, “It’s hard to imagine in this country that we have to produce papers. It rings up images of Nazi Germany.”

Melodramatic paranoia aside, here on Planet Earth, most Americans can’t go a week without having to produce some form of papers. If you write a check or use a credit card, a personal ID is often required. If you go to the movies, proper authorization documentation must be presented, or you won’t get in. At sporting events, you’re even required to proceed to a specific location determined by your access papers. If you loiter, an official will escort you to your pre-registered destination. They know who you are, and they know where you sit.

If you drive a car, you need three different official papers, and if you refuse to surrender any of them to a police officer, you’ll be headed for jail. At Disneyland they’ve taken it a step further. A Disney agent will ask that you wear a bright red wrist band that publicly reveals your access authorization for all to see.

Meanwhile, the Left puts on phony displays of sympathy for Latinos who they insist are the primary target of immigration laws. Maybe so. But any rational person who desires to show solidarity with the Latino community would be shouting from the rooftops about putting an end to illegal immigration. Even Latino labor leader Cesar Chavez understood the simple and obvious truth. As an ardent supporter of enforced immigration laws he knew that illegals siphoned off government funds as well as jobs. Yet the Left refuses to confront this simple reality. Their negligence is something that should be considered criminal and anti-American.

This video was purportedly made by some unidentified Earth First environmentalists. Apparently they’re mourning the death of some trees. From all accounts this video is for real, although I’d feel better if someone could prove to be that it’s a joke. Watch it and judge for yourself. Frankly I’d be more comfortable knowing this was some kind of Christopher Guest/Buck Henry mock-verite parody. Otherwise this is just sad in a sick sort of way. I’d rather not have to confront the reality that mentally and emotionally deficient people like this walk among us.

It didn’t take long for the mainstream media and liberal bloggers to get their crazy wheels spinning last week. In less than 24 hours after Joseph Stack flew his plane into an IRS building, they began working every possible angle that might link the disturbed software engineer to the conservative Tea Party movement. To hear liberals tell it, Stack had all the makings of a quintessential right wing Tea Party prototype. It took some inventive leaps of logic, but they managed to construct some lame comparisons.

If you go by Joeseph Stack’s lengthy and meandering suicide manifesto, he didn’t like Catholics, George Bush, big business, or capitalism. He didn’t even like the city where he was living. In fact, if his angry and bitter 3,000 word coup de plume is any indication, Stack didn’t like much of anything. Is this what the Left is using to make their case for a Tea Party connection? Sort of, but in a weak and unconvincing way. Stack was angry and frustrated, supposedly like the Tea Party followers. But the clincher is that he also hated the IRS. Ah ha! There’s your classic radical right wing wacko: An angry white guy who doesn’t like paying taxes.

It’s liberal deductive reasoning that’s more Clouseau than Columbo. And leftwing pundits and bloggers have since been feverously at work trying to make their contrived conclusions stick, by connecting random dots into a confusing diagram of liberal aberration. Joseph Stack has become the Left’s latest right-wing booger bear: a paranoid construct of biases and misperceptions designed to satisfy their bigotry against conservatives. But that’s their story and they’re sticking to it.

Many critics of the global warming movement are under the impression that the recent “climategate” revelations mark the beginning of the end of the climate change agenda. On the contrary, I predict that environmentalists and their media allies are now going to dig in deeper than a cave full of Japanese soldiers on Okinawa.

These environmental fanatics will concede nothing, and will go to whatever extremes to preserve their sacred “science.” The global warming movement is not so much a scientific consortium as it is a fanatical belief system. It’s really not that much different than what you might find within a religious cult.

When Pat Buchanan confronted Eleanor Clift on last week’s McLaughlin Group with the fact that there was no evidence for man made global warming, Clift hysterically shot back: “There’s no evidence for God’s existence either.” Interesting analogy don’t you think?

Some questions remain: How far will the environmentalists go to preserve their holy crusade? How close will they get to the Kool-Aid table? How much will they be willing to sacrifice? Will they have their Kamikaze moment? Whatever their ultimate fate, I just hope that when the Hale-Bopp comet returns with the mother ship, that these weather wing nuts leave the rest of us off the boarding list.

Last week, ACORN filed a multimillion-dollar lawsuit against the makers of the now notorious hidden-camera video that showed two employees giving tax advice to a man posing as a pimp and a woman posing as a prostitute. Their complaints are downright comical.

Let’s begin with Tonja Thompson and Shera Williams, the two not-quite-bright employees who were fired after the absurd affair went public. They claim that they’ve suffered “extreme emotional distress with attendant physical symptoms and injury to their reputations.” Well, yeah, anyone with a normal conscience would feel bad after getting caught. Is there a problem here? The lawsuit also claims that the video damaged ACORN’s reputation. Again, the problem is…? I think you just file this under “Duh” and move on.

But ACORN is apparently as stubborn as they are stupid. Filing a lawsuit against the people who exposed their ridiculous misbehavior isn’t going to win them any friends in Congress. It’s certainly not going to restore their government funding. Moreover, the case has been reported to be full of holes, making a favorable judgment unlikely at best. So what are they thinking? Not much, evidently. That’s why they’re in this bungled mess in the first place.

Can we be honest here? Let’s all just admit that anarchists are really just leftists who throw rocks and break windows. They’re the wingnut faction of the radical left–a mish-mash of disgruntled activists who resent the fact that no one has handed them a piece of the pie.

The news reports coming from Pittsburgh on the G20 protests reveal the same old gathering of usual suspects: anti-globalists, anti-war activists, anti-capitalists, and anti just about anything you can think of. Basically it’s senior sneak day for the chronically unemployable.
